FineFindus 6cbd129484 feat: generate content-bound poToken 
YouTube switched to using content-bound poToken, i.e. the poToken is generated
for each video using the video's ID. This fixes issues, where the server would
respond with 403, as the previously generated poToken was no longer valid.

About

YouTube has an extremely invasive privacy policy which relies on using user data in unethical ways. They store a lot of your personal data - ranging from ideas, music taste, content, political opinions, and much more than you think.

This project is aimed at improving the users' privacy by being independent from Google and bypassing their data collection.

Therefore, the app is using the Piped API, which uses proxies to circumvent Google's data collection and includes some other additional features.

If you have questions or need help, please make sure to read the FAQ before asking for help at the community channels. The Matrix room is considered as the main communication channel, all other forums or social media accounts are maintained by volunteers from the community but not the developer(s).

Differences to NewPipe

With LibreTube, you have the choice to either send all requests directly to YouTube or proxy them via Piped for better privacy. Piped acts as a middleman server between you and YouTube in this case, which prevents YouTube from accessing personal information such as your IP address. Additionally, using Piped allows you to sync your subscriptions between LibreTube and Piped, which can be used on desktop too.

While LibreTube only supports YouTube, NewPipe also allows the use of other platforms like SoundCloud, PeerTube, Bandcamp and media.ccc.de.
Both are great clients for watching YouTube videos. It depends on the individual's use case which one fits their needs better.

Our Privacy Policy gives detailed information on which data the app stores in order to work, how it is being used, and how the project protects your personal information.
